            <p>Our aim in this edition has been to transcribe the content of the letters as
               accurately as possible without reproducing the physical appearance of the manuscript.
               Craik’s spelling, punctuation, underlining, superscripts, abbreviations, additions
               and deletions are retained, except for words which are hyphenated at the end of a
               line, which we have silently emended. Where Craik uses a non-standard spelling, we
               have encoded both her spelling and the standard Oxford English Dictionary spelling to
               faciliate searching. The long s is not encoded.</p>

            <p> Here is a bit more wedding-cake. that you &amp; <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#PilkingtonAlexander">Alexander</persName> may get used to
               it before you eat your own! – It was not a pretty wedding yesterday: a bride in a
               very ugly wedding-dress – the bridesmaids in still uglier clothes, the church not
               ornamented – &amp; the afternoon tea a crowd of people who didn’t seem quite to know
               what to do. – My child shall be married in <add place="above">a</add> white dress
               &amp; veil &amp; orange blossoms – with pretty bridesmaids. – &amp; nobody for guests
               that don’t thoroughly love her &amp; wish her happiness – though that involve a good
               many. – I don’t like a show wedding, but I do like a pretty one – with everybody in
               their best clothes, looking bright &amp; happy. – I was so glad your tooth-ache was
               better – poor little girl! It was very hard for you- we much hope that your bad luck
               will leave again. – about the middle of November we shall likely go to <placeName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Dover">Dover</placeName>- &amp; that will strengthen you – 
               &amp; prevent gumboils. – you must settle with <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#PilkingtonAlexander">Alexander</persName> when he is to
               come – you know he is always “a gude sight for vain e'en” to <persName
                  ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#CraikGeorge">Papa</persName> &amp; me as well as to you – 
               I have only time for this line before Church – &amp; in the afternoon <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#HooperMaggie">Maggie
                  Hooper</persName> is coming &amp; <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#SwanCameron">Cameron Swan</persName>. – so I might
               lose the post. – </p>
            <p> Yes, I did tell <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#PikeConnie">Connie</persName> about
                     <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#Songbird">Song-bird</persName> – pretty creature! You
               should see how sweet &amp; content she looks! – I have not seen
                  <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#DrPhillips">Dr. Phillips</persName> yet about the selling of
               her. – but she will sell all the better for the times &amp; care he gives her so I am
               in no hurry. It is only a wise investment of capital. – </p>
